Comprehensive Eye ExamsA comprehensive eye exam is a full exam to check both vision and ocular health. During this exam we start by checking a person's vision and exploring their need for glasses or contacts. We also check vital ocular signs to detect ocular conditions that might require further attention.

Pediatric Eye ExamsAt a pediatric eye exam, in addition to the standard comprehensive testing, we also check a child's eye focusing, alignment, and teaming to ensure that the eyes are functioning at their full potential. This is important to ensure that children are not being hindered in school or other activities.

Binocular Vision / Vision TherapyDr. Briana Broussard specializes in binocular vision and vision therapy. In order to see both clearly and comfortably, the eyes and brain must communicate well and work together efficiently. For some patients this does not happen naturally. Vision Therapy can be helpful for these patients in order to improve their visual function. Vision Therapy is an individualized progressive program of eye activities prescribed by an eye doctor. If you or your child is struggling to maintain clear and comfortable vision, please discuss this with us at your next comprehensive eye exam.

Myopia ManagementMyopia, or nearsightedness, is a problem of the eye growing too long. Higher levels of myopia carry a significantly increased risk of potentially blinding retinal complications. Currently, there are three ways to slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children, including specialty contact lenses or an eye drop medication. We will evaluate your child’s prescription during their eye exam and can determine if your child is a good candidate for one of these treatment options, all three of which we provide at our office.

Dry Eye TreatmentDry Eye Syndrome is a chronic condition caused by inadequate lubrication of the front surface of the eyes. This could be a result of insufficient natural tears on the surface of the eye or a result of poor quality tear production. In either case, after evaluating the condition a number of treatment options can be initiated. Patients with Dry Eye Syndrome will often complain of gritty, irritated, scratchy, or burning eyes. If you are suffering from dry eyes, please contact our office to be evaluated.

Computer & Work Related ConditionsWhen on the computer for work, school, or otherwise there is a high demand on our eyes to maintain focus often for long periods of time. This continuous demand for focus, can cause fatigue and other challenges. Oftentimes, an adjustment to the glasses prescription, materials, and coatings can provide some relief.

Emergency VisitsIn the event of an eye-related emergency, seeing an eye doctor is important in order to fully evaluate the eye and determine the necessary treatment and precautions. Such emergencies include: injury to the eye or around the eye, foreign-body in the eye, sudden onset red-eyes or itchy eyes, eye or eyelid swelling, sudden loss of vision, sudden change in vision, flashes, floaters, curtain over vision. These conditions should all be evaluated promptly.
